What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who it works for
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
A brunch that skips the eggs
You can find a bottomless brunch on most streets in Birmingham, usually with the same menu. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We thought brunch should come from the same place as our dinner.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. The food is just a lot more interesting.
How a sitting works
It's all very simple. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Pick your sitting. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Choose a drinks package. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Choose a starter and a main. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Settle in. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. Want to keep going? The bar stays open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What you can order
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. It's one starter and one main per person.
Openers: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Second course: Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Sanpei Chicken, based on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free).
If you're still hungry, sides are extra and run from £3.50 to £6.00, including egg fried rice, pak choi with garlic and tenderstem broccoli. You can also upgrade your rice, from egg fried rice at +£1 up to stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50.
If you're vegan, you'll find two starters and a main, plus a vegetarian main for veggies. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.

Your drinks options
The Wild Brunch package, £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Having two cocktails alongside the fizz means you're not stuck on one drink all afternoon.
You'll spot lychee across our cocktail menu, so a Lychee Martini on brunch made sense. If you haven't tried one, brunch is a good place to start.
Going for Champagne
The upgrade costs £9.95 per person and adds unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Options for non-drinkers
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
We can't mix packages on a single table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Does £45 add up?
The sums are easy. A single Pornstar Martini costs £14 on our normal menu, which means a pair already hits £28 with nothing to eat. The brunch price of £45 includes both courses and an hour and a half of bottomless drinks.
For a table that likes a few drinks, the maths works in your favour early on. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Choosing between the three days
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. That makes it ideal for groups who want to make some noise.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Saturdays go quickest, so early booking is a good idea.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
Tips for your first brunch
- Get here on the dot. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Don't skip the starter. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Keep water on the table. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Settle the package first. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Plan the trip home. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Do click here drink sensibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Planning for a bigger party
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. Bigger parties can use our private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and the events team can help with decorations or a cake arranged in advance. Details are on our private events page.
Finding Lulu Wild
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.
- Broad Street: about two minutes on foot.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along the towpath.
If you're coming by car, Q-Park Brindleyplace is a two-minute walk. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Pairing brunch with a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. A lunchtime sitting leaves room to breathe before the curtain goes up. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Staying on after brunch
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
Our signature cocktails borrow kitchen flavours like lychee, yuzu, rhubarb and elderflower, and they arrive with dry ice. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
More than brunch
Our brunch is just one side of Lulu Wild. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. The main menu covers aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with veggie and vegan dishes throughout. Brunch is a good first taste, and dinner is the next step.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
December at Lulu Wild
Throughout December you can book brunch on any day. Work Christmas parties and catch-ups with friends both fit in nicely. We're closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
Reserving your sitting
You can book on OpenTable, through our reservations page or by calling 0121 631 1739. Tell us about allergies at the booking stage, and settle the drinks package as a group.
